44 minutes ago

From the section Europe

The man suspected of carrying out the New Year's Eve attack on a nightclub in Istanbul was trained in Afghanistan, the city's governor says. Vasip Sahin said the man, named earlier as Uzbek national Abdulkadir Masharipov, was believed to have entered scene.

Thirty-nine people died in the attack on the Reina club with dozens wounded. Citizens of Israel, France, Tunisia, Lebanon, India, Belgium, Jordan and Saudi Arabia were among the victims.

Police arrested the man on Monday evening in a raid on an address in the Istanbul suburb of Esenyurt. Initial reports said a Kyrgyz man was also arrested but Mr Sahin said on Tuesday that a man of Iraqi origin and three women of Egyptian and African origin were detained.
